Anyone have pictures of the RS lip and the Cup Car lip? I'd like to see the difference.

Depends on what Texas roads, I travel many farm to market roads as well as interstates and while many of our roads may need some work my front spoiler is undamaged.... Now the windshield and front end from gravel trucks spilling their load as they cut you off, another story. Thank goodness for Xpel

Its better when you put a little strip that helps extract heat from the wheel well and at the same time bolts to the Cup lip, making it less flimsy. Occasionally the sides of the CUP lip will pop out.

I did not get it yet because now I can drive in and out of my trailer without having to bend down to rip it off and put it back on.

I used to replace them often with the lower CUP splitter on the MK1, now I rearely scrape with the MK2, but I did already hit a side walk and scratched it.

If found that if you can pretend not to see it, it's much easier on yourself.
Just shake your head left to right and back really fast if you approach your car from the front..
i guess they are all $280~ now.

if the price is the same... who prefers what?


GT3 lip (smaller, maybe hits less)
GT3 RS lip (bigger, wider...)
GT3 CUP lip (looks big like RS lip, but appears to be diff material?)


if the CUP lip is more rubbery, sounds ideal... but also looks a lot lower (hit more,)

Find a local shop with a pmna account. They are much cheaper than that and no shipping fees. I think I paid 175 for mine 2 weeks ago. Shop prefers no brake duct version as more downforce in front.

Mine is an Indy. Just ask them if they can get parts from porsche Motorsport. Anyone who does cup car or spec racer support most likely can or does.

I have used my Dremel which made short work of it cleaned up nicely.

scratches to the lip add character, esp a cup lip. If a gt3 has a cup lip with 0 scratches its a garage queen

For parts (especially these splitters), do cup car model years translate over to the same model year for regular 997.2 GT3? I see these two options: 997.505.983.90 MY2006-2009 997.505.557.92 MY2010-2013 Same price and no brake ducts in either. Which is for a 2010 GT3 non-RS? I don't want to assume MY2010-2013 really is for my 2010.
